Grey Imports...
How do you know if the tv you order over the net is a UK or Grey Import model.  |

It is normally the last 2 letters/numbers after the model number that denote the country the device was intended for. |

teletext and the TV's own menu's-if you could email them or post as their original size that would be great just interested to see if your TV displays some RED colour bleed like all the ones i've seen/owned(!!) Many thanks.... |

Thanks for that,yours is the same as mine(and all the others i've seen) if you get up very close to the screen you will see slight red colour bleed.I was hoping there would be some setting in the service manual with regard to this,sadly the service manual doesn't really tell you what all the settings are!! I was thinking it may be something along the lines of the Sony smear fix found as a sticky on these forums.......

From that picture the problem looks to me like red misconvergence. If that's the case then there's no magic menu fix for that. Such things are always more noticeable on text because you are looking at white text characters on a black screen - all 3 colours are at, or near, maximum intensity so any convergence error is more noticable. But it doesn't look serious from what I can see.

I would agree that it appears as a convergence error but why are they all setup like this? ALL three HQ100's had this (along with other problems  ) ALL the ones i've seen in shops have it too, so why is the red convergence out on all HQ100's? Agreed it's not that bad but it's one of those things that makes you wonder why they are ALL like it...... |
